About

The Falls is a waterfall in Sutter County, California, sitting at about 563 feet. The nearest town is Sutter, roughly 7 miles away. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show April highs around 73°F and October highs near 79°F, while July and August average about 92°F.
